Hi Nathan, Thank you for your comments.
Although you and I may not be on the same platform, so my comment may be irrelevant, I'm not at all used to seeing tooltips when I hover my mouse over a menu item. The tooltip property may be for when the action is incarnated as a toolbar item, for instance. Then, I'd expect a tooltip. Did you try that? It may not be standard UI. I am on Red Hat Enterprise Linux. I am puzzled because I have made some Qt apps in which the menu item tooltips work and others that do not. When I go look at the code, I cannot figure out what the difference is and why one app works and the other does not. -Ed Nathan On Jun 9, 2010, at 1:30 PM, Ed Sutton wrote: I must be missing an elementary step. Here's what I tried: 1. Using Qt Creator I created a new project from File > New File or Project > Projects > Qt4 GUI Application 2. I adde a File menu and an "Quit" action item to mainwindow.ui using the Qt designer 3. Using the property editor I added toolTip text to the menu action. 4. I see the statusTip displaying in the bottom status bar when I hover over the menu action item. Why would I not see any tooltip when I hover over the menu action item?
